The experience
Mount your horse at the base and ride through the hills of St Kitts, passing bamboo, sea grapes, wild cherries, wild sage, mangoes, guava and the National Flower, the Poinciana. Watch for wildlife as you climb. The ride takes you to a point where you dismount for a 10-minute walk to Sofa Stone, a named landmark where the ridge opens to views of Basseterre, the tranquil Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. On a clear day, you can see the neighbouring islands from here.
After photos at Sofa Stone, you walk back to your horse and ride down the mountain to the base, where you get refreshment. The whole activity runs three hours. A live English-speaking guide leads the ride, and the operator picks you up from your hotel or meeting point. You'll wear a helmet and ride in a saddle. Bring a camera for the ridge views.
Is this one for you?The ride climbs and descends the hills over three hours, so you need moderate fitness and comfort in the saddle for the duration. If you're looking for a shorter or flatter horseback experience, this one is built around the ridge views and the climb to reach them.
